Recently it has come to the attention of the Welfare and Protection Officer and the Secretary that those aged eighteen and over who do not hold specific managerial responsibility within the Club may have encountered issues with their CRB application in terms of the position being applied for. A position of ‘Player’ is not specific enough for the CRB and may lead to applications being rejected. Therefore – whilst this matter is deliberated at Management Committee Level and with the County Board – all those aged eighteen and over should still continue to apply for, complete and process the CRB form and await further advice that will be posted on this site. The Club’s policy is that it is desirable for all aged eighteen and over to hold an enhanced CRB certificate and to be aware of the potential dangers of not holding such, particularly should a welfare and protection issue arise. The Club can’t compel any personnel to hold such, but if any individual does not wish to enter into the process then the Welfare and Protection Officer and the Secretary MUST be made aware of this fact explicitly – otherwise it will be assumed that such certificates will be available on request.
